Summary

As we step into 2026, we’re taking time to check in on the health of our hearts using a framework called RPMs — Relational, Physical, Mental, and Spiritual. In this episode, we reflect on how each of these areas looked for us in 2025, where we saw growth, and where we hope to go deeper in the new year. This conversation is full of honesty, laughs, and some real heart checks. Whether you're feeling on fire spiritually or just trying to eat fewer bowls of cereal (Mac, we’re lookin’ at you!), we hope this framework helps you draw closer to Jesus and embrace intentional living in 2026. Grab your journal, reflect with us, and let’s invite the Lord into every part of our heart.
